Gen Nichols has commenced his campaign
and his first speech was delivered in East
Baton Rouge. EItappears quite singular to
us that the Nichols boom should require the |
active canvass Of the State. The fact of the
matter is that the boom has not yet expanded
to the proportions at first anticipated, the
people have not. grown wild over the eandi-

essaTy to "swing around the eircle'' in search.
of votes. And If the Reformers are reduced
to these extreme measures, what will they do.

Louisiana was broken by the campaigns of
1874 and 1876 and had Coy Nichols clearly
comprehended the situation In 1877, and
dealt with the chiefs and leaders Of the de-
feabed robbers with an iron hand. there is no
reason to believe that there Would have been
any necessity to resort, in 1873, in aNateAito-
ehes, Tensas and several other parishes, to
the methods of 1876, for the purpose of re-
deeaing those parishes after more than q
year Of State Democratic rule from the most
malignant and threatening Radicalislp any
